Gonna be quite a few unhappy SEC fan bases. It's not like they're adding more championships. Guess all their money can pay for fired coaches.
Pollard says Texas "can't leave soon enough"
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
Texas is like the parents that blame the equipment when their kid struggles in sports. Go on a hitting slump, must need a new bat. Miss some shots, let's get a new ball.
Texas can't compete for championships, must be the conference you're in holding you back.

If I had to choose between drama being wealthy and sanity living upper middle class, no question I am choosing the latter. That's the message Pollard just gave. Texas fans don't get it or don't want to get it. SEC gets the drama now. Enjoy the money, because drama will eat your sanity.
Another thing Texas fans don't want to acknowledge is that 75% of the increased money they get in the SEC is already spent: reduced income from the Hampshirehorn Network, increased salaries for administration and football coaches, increased travel, especially administrative meetings, coaching buyouts and Gucci bags for everyone. Texas fans, you'll get nothing and you will like it.
Pollard is like a folk hero now with the SicEm365 Baylor fans.
I follow a few social media groups of Big 12 and new Big 12 fans. Also comments sections of the SicEm365 youtube channel.
Some already knew about him, but a lot of Big 12 and new Big 12 fans are now huge fans from this interview.
They had like a 10 year straight stretch where they made more cash than SEC schools anyway.
And I've always liked listening SicEm365 on YouTube. They seem to be fair, have good guests, and are informative on the Big 12, realignment news, etc.
It really is a tragedy and a threat to Democracy that some people just can't keep things out of the Cave.
I think the thing I love most about these Texas fans is their delusion. As in, "once we're in the SEC we won't have to play lowly Iowa State anymore - we'll get to play Florida..."
Yes, Florida will appear on their schedule every so often, but being completely oblivious to the fact that they're more often than not going to be playing Kentucky... and Missouri... and Arkansas... and Mississippi St... and Auburn (who has been worthless for the last 10 years)... and South Carolina... and odds are every single one of these schools that they are already looking down on by not even acknowledging they exist are going to own their lunch almost immediately. Which is why it won't even take a decade for the instability that Texas is going to bring with them to start plaguing the SEC. It's the only reason why I'll even be interested in the SEC in the immediate future - there are far too many egos to contain in that conference.

This doesn't get commented enough. Jamie said he went to a meeting with Lew Perkins (Kansas AD and organizer of the clandestine meeting I believe.). Perkins didn't invite Baylor. Jamie said who they were meeting with and 365 Sports censored it. Sucks they did that as was interested who it was - the Big 10, Big East, etc.
I think the guys said it was an unfortunate technology issue. Not sure if they put a lid on it.
Either way I'm waiting for JPs book
Unfortunate technology issue? I missed that. Seems too much a coincidence and not buying it. Waiting for JP's next call-in-show where someone asks him.
